This is one of the two Great Horned Owlets from Sikome, Fish Creek Park. I dashed over there yesterday evening, after getting a phone call from a thoughtful friend (thanks so much, Phil!), and managed to get a couple of shots that are just about worth keeping. This little guy/gal had apparently been active, but when I arrived, it hauled itself up this tree and decided it would stay there : ) Couldn't find a clear view, unfortunately. Its sibling, who had also fledged, was much higher up in a nearby tree, and Mom and Dad were of course in other nearby trees. What beautiful creatures they are!

Our walk this morning took us along the Bow River south of Hull's Wood and beyond the Highway 22X bridge. It was so cold and very windy! We had tremendous winds overnight - a weather advisory had warned us that this was about to happen.
